An electronic novice always finds it very difficult to understand regarding the many electronic parts that are today flooded in the market.
Take for example the capacitor. Though the component may look quite straight forward, it's hugely classified into various types, functions, specifications etc. making the situation absolutely baffling for anybody who may be new to the field. This makes it difficult how to understand and operate capacitors.
However understanding capacitors becomes pretty easy if you study the types closely through a step wise manner as explained below:
Basically as we all know a capacitor has a couple legs which
An electrolytic capacitor is polarized,. That means its legs are required to be oriented as per the shown polarity over its body (usually with minus sign). The voltage written over it is the breakdown voltage, means this value should never come close across its leads. These have usually high capacive values (in µF).
Other capacitor like a ceramic or disc are usually of very low capacitive values and are usually rated at over 50 volts. They may be calculated in pF or nF. 1nF = 1000pF, and 1µF = 1000nF.
Metalized PPC capacitor are similar to the above disc capacitor comparatively but are used for very high voltage application in the range of over 230 volts.

Our everyday life requires a lot of mental and physical well-being
Physical fitness helps us to cope better with these requirements of our environment. The positive effects of fitness training make up for every effort. Fitness training is enormously diverse because the term includes not only classical sports such as aerobics, gymnastics and jogging, but, for example, also balancing and faszien training.
Although it is possible to distinguish between pure endurance training and strength training, some sports, such as cycling, can not be clearly defined, but it is rather a combination of both types of training.
In our fitness equipment store, you will find a wide range of fitness equipment for fitness training
From fitness mats, fitness belts, gymnastics balls, jumping ropes, running accessories and water bottles, dumbbells, pull-up bars, power station accessories, training gloves, kettlebells and medicine balls to acupressure mats, Spiky massage Balls, lacrosse balls and massage accessories.

You, too, can look this flawless without the big-name products that test on animals. Photo from Instagram: @xoloveleti
You might think you've finished Spring Cleaning, but are you sure you haven't missed a spot in your beauty cabinet? Popular brands and common products could be lurking there that are harmful to your health, the environment, and animals they are tested on. Our May guest editor, YouTube vegan beauty star xoloveleti, is here to help! An expert in all things vegan and cruelty-free, Leti's combination of integrity, approachability, and on-fleek everything make her YouTube channel and Facebook group a top destination for product reviews and beauty advice. Here she shares with us her three dirty products you need to ditch ASAP, fave resources for vegan veterans and rookies alike (including a must-have checklist!), and all that's in between.
– First three products in a makeup kit to switch out for cruelty-free ASAP:
I am a firm believer in a balancing act with makeup for those not quite ready to take the fully "green" beauty collection plunge- and going cruelty-free is the perfect opportunity to do just that!
I would definitely start with your foundation, mascara and lipstick. I can get away with wearing just that most days, and there are endless vegan and nontoxic options that can work for anyone! I personally swear by the Illuminare foundation as there are formulas to suit any skin-type as well as great undertones. You can find gorgeous vegocentric lipsticks BY LIPPY GIRL in the LOVE GOODLY shop that add just the right amount of tint and moisture to your lips, as well as the Juice Beauty lash defining mascara (I'm dying to try their new products, including the foundation! You just can't go wrong with JB).
Start your cruelty-free journey off right with a perfectly pink pout! Pictured: Lippy Girl Vegocentric Lipstick in Hot Diggity Yam
Healthy and ethical beauty is so easy, it's nothing to bat an eyelash at! But go right ahead with this Juice Beauty Mascara.
– Favorite stops for cruelty-free and vegan info:
I definitely use LogicalHarmony.net as my beauty bible. I do not trust anyone else's list/certification process more than LH's! It's holy grail. The blog is also filled with vegan lists and more. Of course I must shamelessly plug my awesome Facebook group Bunny Lifestyle where like-minded cruelty-free people everywhere join in a positive space to help one another and participate in giveaways, swaps and more. My close friend Katie Petix helps me run it and is a huge reason why it is still alive today.
I also have a 30 days to cruelty-free pdf which you can find on www.LoveLeticia.com that I created after years of experience in becoming cruelty-free and finding a good balance that (hopefully) doesn't overwhelm others! I definitely plan on doing a shoutout video on my channel YouTube.com/xoLoveLeti soon to showcase more awesome creators!
Find Leti on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/xoLoveLeti
– Something you always run out of:
I'm going to answer with what I am always SCARED to run out of that I repurchase the most, which is my brow pencil. I am scared to leave the house without having my Anastasia Brow Wiz ready to give my face some life. As a child of the 90s, I suffered through the unfortunate overpluckyourbrowsaritis syndrome, and my sparse (already light) brows now suffer for it. Thanks to the pencil it now takes me seconds to create the brows I've always dreamed of, and I love having fun trying out different shapes & techniques!
– Lately you're always:
I'm hungry right now. Seriously. I'm going through an awkward stage of moving out, where a kitchen isn't easily accessible and a few lunches have consisted of french fries and pickles (no, I'm not pregnant!). I can't even begin to talk about how much the Purely Elizabeth muesli in my previous LOVE GOODLY box saved my life. It was so, and I mean SO yummy and nutritious but low maintenance.
– Your morning routine in four words:
Minimalistic, refreshing, reflective, and……… coffee (I'm just not a morning person).
Refresh your own mornings with a light facial cleanser, like Blissoma Fresh Mild Rice Facial Cleanser!
– Guilty pleasure you'll never give up:
Gilmore Girls, Britney Spears, and those OHMYGODYES vegan dark truffles from Nicobella LOVE GOODLY blessed me with. Oh. My. Glob.
– I'm in love with:
My rescued cat Waffle, snapchat, liquid lipsticks, great thrift scores (I officially sound like a hipster but LET ME LIVE MY BASIC LIFE OK), and… VEGAN DARK TRUFFLES! Oh and LOVE GOODLY, of course 😉 No, seriously. I love LOVE GOODLY.
LOVE GOODLY interview with NOVICA Chief Executive Roberto Milk
Co-founder and Chief Executive of NOVICA Roberto Milk took inspiration from his missionary grandmother, and turned that into a company that has now raised over $65 million dollars in support of artisans around the world. According to the NOVICA website, many artists "don't have the means to sell their work on the international market. NOVICA gives them a free platform to do this, and reach customers on a global scale."
Roberto is changing that and changing the world in the process! Follow the jump to learn more about NOVICA's Co-Founder!
Meet Jimmy the Snout
Jimmy is just one of the many animals given a second chance at Farm Sanctuary.
According to Farm Sanctuary, "Jimmy the Snout … belonged to a homeless man who surrendered him to Ventura Animal Control. While [they] don't how the man got Jimmy, they did know that he had atrophic rhinitis – a bacterial disease which causes inflammation and atrophy of the nasal tissue and like in Jimmy's case often deforms the snout of the pig. Pigs with this disease require special care and they are often killed by farmers, who see them as an economic loss."
At LOVE GOODLY we don't see him as a loss at all – we love the character his crooked nose gives him!
While we all decided that Jimmy is probably not destined for life in our office in Downtown Los Angeles, he's only an hour's drive outside of the city and we're able to visit him as much as we want! (Be prepared for the assured onslaught of pictures!)
Jimmy's favorite food is bagels and we're told when he's not eating, he loves cuddling with his favorite blanket and making new friends that come to visit him at Farm Sanctuary.
You can learn more about Jimmy and his friends here and check out Farm Sanctuary's website here.
MIND BODY GREEN – The Founders Of LOVE GOODLY Share Their Natural Beauty Routines
"My beauty routine includes eating healthy by following a plant-based diet, drinking water with lemon daily, playing with my son and dog, and trying to get as much exercise as possible. I go for hikes on the weekend and to the gym on Fridays." Justine

With the HR Technology Conference in full swing, we've been fielding a lot of questions and interest in the newest addition to our recruiting software, Talemetry® Agency, which we unveiled here at #HRTechConf. Read the full press release.
With just a couple clicks recruiters and hiring managers can easily share open jobs with third-party recruiting agencies, who can access a customized web portal to view open roles and submit candidates for specific roles. The solution also manages email communication between organizations and agencies when new roles open and when positions are filled.

The tool tracks candidates through the process and avoids duplication of candidates who might be under consideration already. In addition, it makes it easy to manage agency relationships and track spending.
We've heard from recruiting teams in a wide variety of organizations that they want to effectively monitor and managing spending on recruiting and improve recruiter efficiency. Talemetry Agency is the answer -- it captures and manages candidates from agencies, making it possible to search, rank and compare them all at once.

The result? Better efficiency makes it clearer which recruiting agencies are most effective, which results in smarter spending. You're not paying for the same candidate twice, and improved communication between you and your agencies makes for a better experience for everybody.

The quality of work was first class and the cooperation between fititout and other local tradesmen was excellent...I would also like to add that James was extremely helpful with advice and sourcing materials
My name is John Conway and my company's name is Fix My i. For over 6 months I had been looking at different retail units in Tullamore, I actually looked at around 15 different units if not more. James seen most of those units because I didn't even have to ask him twice, if I rang him and said I was looking at a unit then he was there in 10 minutes. Then I eventually agreed a lease on Patrick street and fititout was always my number 1 choice. Once I signed that lease, James was there the next day. We signed off on a design in no time and then the work began. When James told me they would have in done in a day or two I was shocked. But literally in 24 hours, they revamped an old store that needed a lot of work into a store that people think is a franchise because the fit out and branding is so good. I honestly couldn't be happier with the speed, the workmanship, the professionalism, the honest opinions whenever you ask and the price. Thank you James for helping me open our first flagship store. if you are looking for a shop fitter then don't waste your time pricing around, you won't get a better service anywhere in Ireland for fit outs!
James and the fititout team are the best in the business...
The project was completed on time and within the budget agreed...the quality of the fit out was excellent and we were delighted with how it turned out.
They gave us a very competitive quote. They came in at the quoted price and the work was done exactly to the date...and every detail was strictly adhered to...I would highly recommend fititout.
It is a pleasure to engage and complete a project with fititout...they are fully engaged with each project from A-Z and beyond. fititout fully understands budgets and time frames.
James & his team have done fantastic work for myself & Anthony throughout all our 4 stores here in Tullamore and Athlone & I have to say from the smaller jobs to the very big ones he has been exceptional to deal with. No job is too big or too small, he always places the same amount of knowledge & attention to detail in everything he does. I have never come across somebody in his trade to do so much research for the job in hand!This just proves how much pride James takes in the work carried out for all his clients.I would highly recommend fititout to anybody looking for the highest standard of work delivered by a construction company. Lastly I would just like to thank James & all the boys for the massive amount of work they have done for us on behalf of myself, Anthony & all at KODE clothing ,Guy clothing & K&G Kids Tullamore and The Outlet Athlone.
Excellent Service from start to finish on my premises at Lusana Shoe Boutique Athlone - would 100% recommend James and his team!
Five Star Service. Dezynamite are an award winning design company and needed something to reflect this, and fititout delivered. James and Co did an outstanding job on our premises from start to finish, within budget and timeframe, their attention to detail was second to none and were always available to answer any queries we had. Most importantly, I would recommend James and the whole fititout crew to a friend.
I've worked with James and the fititout team on a number or projects over the past few years. James consistently gives the client a top class finish on time and within budget. As a commercial interior designer it is crucial to find a professional and reliable company to recommend to clients.
I always recommend fititout as I know they will deliver. fititout go over and beyond to make sure the job is completed to a high standard and both client and designer are 100% satisfied.
James has a great eye for detail and genuine understanding of 'good design' and how it can enhance businesses profitability, productivity and customer experience. His experience would be a great asset to any business or individual looking for a professional fit out.
Worked with fititout on a few projects. Highly recommend James and his team. Very professional service, quality workmanship and great flexibility which is very important especially in fitting out existing buildings.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The Alaska Aces, ECHL affiliate of the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League, announced today that veteran forward Peter Sivak has been returned to the Aces from his professional tryout with the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League while forward Brendan Connolly has been recalled by Abbotsford.
Sivak, 31, skated in three games with Abbotsford after being loaned to the club on Nov. 28. He returns as the Aces leading scorer with 23 points (6g-17a) in 15 games, which is tied for sixth in ECHL scoring. His 17 assists are tied for second in the league and he is second in Aces power play scoring with five points. The 5-foot-11, 179 pound forward out of Slovakia has five points (4g-1a) in 12 career AHL games with Abbotsford and Worcester and has racked up 79 points (39g-40a) and a +4 rating in 78 career ECHL games with the Aces and San Francisco Bulls.
Connolly, 28, heads to the AHL for the first time this season with 17 points (6g-11a)and a +4 rating in 18 games with the Aces. The 5-foot-9, 175 pound forward has two assists in 15 career AHL games with Adirondack and Texas and has posted 222 points (95g-127a) in 235 career ECHL games with Elmira, Greenville and the Aces.

Riff like black holes. Songs like the turns of a kaleidoscope. Records that transport you to the other side of the mirror. And live shows that seem to take you to a superior state of consciousness. Although the clock melts away when The Black Angels are playing, there are two immovable space-time coordinates for the Texas band to officiate their pagan ritual of hallucinogenic rock live in our country: 1st September in the Apolo, Barcelona and 2nd September in the Joy Eslava, Madrid
The Black Angels have been dedicated to psychedelic rock for almost 15 years now. As was seen at their concerts at Primavera Sound 2017, they do not only defend the contemporaneity of this music with five albums that open doors to other dimensions, but also understand that this type of rock is not as escapist as it could appear to be: the anti-establishment discourse of psychedelic music of the 60s is still very much alive in their case.The psychedelic pedigree of this Austin quintet is irrefutable: they were Roky Erickson's support band, the are part of The Reverberation Appreciation Society, they co-founded the Levitation festival (formerly Austin Psych Fest), their latest album is called Death Song (2017), playing with the name of one of the most enigmatic tracks by The Velvet Underground… But Stephanie Bailey, Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alex Maas and Nate Ryan also consider themselves proponents of protest music: the lyrics of their latest tracks are notes about the nature of a society, American society and of a system, the capitalist system, on the brink of collapse.

Yeah, I finished my first card for the Creative Freebie challenge on The Outlawz!
It's with an image from Anne Fenton.
The background was actually a misprint, ( no more red ink) but it looked funny so I still used it on my card.
Colored the image with copics.

Terrific design Sandra, you always seem to come with such unique ones too. I laughed at your running out of ink remark, that is one of the reasons I don't do digital paper! It still looks lovely, and you've coloured Anne's image great. Thanks for all the birthday wishes, if there were a prize for that you would have won!! Cheers :)SandraBeantwoordenVerwijderen

A smoker who switched to e-cigarettes for health reasons has described the horrific moment the device 'nearly blew his legs off'.
David Aspinall's e-cigarette left him fighting for his life, after it overheated and exploded – showering his limbs with metal.
The 48-year-old, from Wigan, nearly lost his flat in the blaze that followed – and spent nine days in hospital recovering from the ordeal.
David Aspinall's e-cigarette overheated and exploded – showering his limbs with shards of metal
The 48-year-old said the device overheated and exploded before sparking a fire which nearly cost him his flat
He said he suffered a huge hole in one leg and a gash in the other. He spent nine days in hospital recovering
He claims that medics likened his injuries to bullet wounds – and says he is lucky to be alive.
Mr Aspinall, who may need three years of skin grafts to recover, told The Sun: 'It glowed and burned in my hand. I dropped it and it exploded.
'There was lots of blood, a huge hole in one leg and a gash in the other.'
'It could have blown my head off,' he added. 'The surgeon said it was like someone had used a gun.'

Wow! Never liked the idea of E cigarettes. Not that I smoke but just saying.
There's no way that an e-cigarette can do that to your leg,
1- The explosion would not be powerful enough for that amount of damage to be done to you, unless you let the device rest on your naked leg, when it's obviously heating up fast,
2- It's impossible for the device to cause 180 degree wounds from an explosion on a leg, unless some particles went either through limb.
I smell hoax for insurance claims.

10 Things to Do This Summer on a Budget
Being on a tight budget doesn't mean you can't have fun. Whether you're on your own or looking for something to do with your family, there are plenty of free or low-budget options. Here are 10 ideas to get you started for things to do this summer on a budget.
Take Your Kids to the Park
One of the most popular things to do during the summer is a trip to the park. It could be a small, play park for your children where you get to play on the swings and slides. If it's large enough, you could take a ball and play kick or catch. This is also great fun with friends if you don't have children of your own. You may be lucky enough to live near a country park with walking trails, which are great ways to get out of the house and have some fun exploring.
Go for a Picnic Somewhere
How about a picnic? As the weather becomes nicer, you want to get out and enjoy it. A picnic is a great way of doing that, whether you're with friends or your family. Grab a small bag or basket and pack a blanket with snacks. Make your own sandwiches and treats to keep the cost down.
Visit the Free Museums
Many museums around the world now offer free days. For example, the Louvre offers free entry on the first Sunday of every month. It's worth finding out when the free days in your local area are, and taking a trip out. You and your family can learn all sorts.
Take a Trip to the Beach
If you have a beach nearby, why not choose that as your day out? Like the park, it's a free option and you can go with friends or family members. You may want to take a little money just so you can get an ice cream while out.
Borrow a Movie
While the summer usually has hot days, there are times that the rain comes down. You want to spend the time indoors, and you can do that in a fun way. The libraries are usually full of DVDs to rent, as well as books, so why not borrow a movie? You could even have a weekly movie night with the family without breaking the budget.
Check Out the Coupons
Whether you look in the paper or online, there are usually coupons for trips out. Most of them are "kids go free" offers for particular places, and will definitely help you stick to a budget. The zoo, aquarium and movie theater are all places that tend to do these types of offers.
Watch the Fireworks
There are a lot of places that do fireworks during the summer. After all, Independence Day is just around the corner. You don't need to pay for entry to see the fireworks. Pick a spot just on the outskirts of the event and you'll be able to see the lights above without an issue.
Have Fun at Mini Golf
Mini golf is a popular pastime, and something that kids love. It's also great for a group of friends to pass the time, without breaking the bank. Check out your local mini golf course and take a trip for a day.
Go to the Dollar Store
You'll be surprised at the things you can find in the dollar store. They have funky glasses, hats and craft products. Why not take a trip and have fun trying a few things on? You don't necessarily need to buy everything. Make it clear that everyone can have one item at the end of it all to keep the cost down.
Camp Out in the Backyard
Who said you have to go somewhere to camp and have fun? You'll be surprised at what you can turn your garden into. Pitch your tent, pull out the barbecue, and have yourself a camping trip to remember. Don't forget the flashlights for the ghost stories.
You don't need to spend a fortune this summer. The above are just 10 things to do on a budget. Are you ready to enjoy your time and save your wallet at the same time?

However, your installation team showed the utmost respect to us and our property and there was minimal mess mainly due to the conscientiousness of your guys' work ethic. We particularly appreciated the plastic box under where the ceiling holes were being cut in! Even at the end, in the rain, they cleaned and removed all the rubbish, packaging, boxes etc.
The autumn weather has only enabled us to try the air-conditioner just a little while but it is works beautifully and you can be assured we will recommend you to friends and family for their air-conditioning needs.

5 Things for Me - Week Two
So last week you may have read that I've decided to start focussing on me a little more (click here to read), as in order to be the best mum and wife I can be, I need 5 minutes here and there to focus on just me.
I'm pleased to report that the majority of my 5 little things I set last week I achieved – Big high five, right!
Here's what I managed to do:
In bed by 9:30pm and once in bed NO phone!
Ok, so I didn't stick to the 9:30pm every day, as there were two evenings where my boys decided bedtime was party time which meant by the time they were finally asleep, I did the whole 'Do I go to bed early and rest, or spend my evening catching up on TV and moan about being tired tomorrow?'. The latter won, and the mornings after the late nights, I was shattered, but the mornings after the early night were glorious! The late nights did mean I caught up on the Flash and Arrow, plus Hubby and I enjoyed a game of The Logo Game.
Swings and roundabouts!
Get hair done
Yes! I am now sporting a very short bob, which my little sister took the mick out of, and blondeblonde hair, which I love. It's so much more manageable now it's shorter and quicker to blow dry in the mornings.
Eat breakfast
Big tick! I've managed breakfast every morning, and one morning I treated myself to a hot cross bun.. check me out!
Have a bath
This sounds like I don't clean, but I do have a shower each morning! And I did enjoy THREE baths this week. Two were completely childfree, and the other was the usual cramped, water everywhere fiasco of bathing with two toddlers.
And here's where I failed slightly:
Drink 2 litres of water a day
I couldn't do this! I used to have a very trusty Hydratm8 bottle which I would refill throughout the day but it recently broke, and for some reason I don't have 'time' to keep filling up a glass of water. Actually, it's not so much I don't have the time more that I don't remember!
I'm so pleased I've started this though, as actually writing it down means I attempt to remember and stick to it!
Here are my 5 things for this week!
Fingers crossed I can achieve the above, but with my anniversary, a day out to Thomas and Clark's 3rd birthday, I think I may have to take the back seat..BUT I will try to remember me!
So if you're feeling a little run down, remember to take some time out for YOU! Looking for a bit of inspo?..look no further here's what some other blogging mummies have been up to!
What one thing did you do for yourself this week?
"I went out with old work friends yesterday lunchtime, had a few wines and some pizza and totally allowed myself to be me rather than a mummy for once - was amazing!" - Emma at Even Angels Fall
"I had a bath. Not big deal to some but first one in about four years (didn't have bath in old house). It was nice to lie in there, reading a book with a cup of tea and I could hear the kids outside wanting to come in to talk to me but my partner wouldn't let them! Ok, after being in there for half an hour I ended up having the 2 year old in with me but it was lovely!" - Rachel at Coffee Cake Kids
"I went clothes shopping alone as I needed a dress for a friend's wedding and an interview outfit. I took my time, even stopped to get my brows and nails done and to have a beer in Brewdog before I caught the bus home! Was bliss 😊 oh and for literally the first time ever I spent all my money on myself and didn't buy a thing for anyone else!"- Alex at Better Together Home
"I sat and ate lunch. My little man was whinging but I'm not my best if im hungry." – Kristine at Max and Kai
"I read my book during nap time. I love reading but always end up thinking my time is better spent doing chores/eating while Spike naps. This time I decided I didn't want to do stuff for everyone else " – Raimy at Readaraptor Hatchling
"I try to do a Pilates class once a week - I have it in my diary as a meeting so try not to let work clash with it (I work freelance) it relaxes me and makes me feel healthier " – Debbie at My Boys Club
So what one thing will you try to do for yourself this week?

Thanks for including my 'me moment'. It;s so important to take time out for ourselves and practice some 'self-care' :) xx

Couldn't have timed this any better. Just got back from Pilates - thanks for including me :)

The above Image comes from a link Lena Peterson, from the class of 2010, shared with me recently titled, "if WWI were a Bar Fight". Its pretty funny. You can google it or I'll share it with you tomorrow. Regardless it illustrates the absurdity, or as Kissinger calls it, the Greek tragedy that unfolds after the assassination of the archduke.
Why WWI becomes WWI is ascribed by the popular British historian AJP Taylor, to the "long dead hand of Schlieffen pulling the trigger on the first WW". For, as Kissinger quotes Obruchev as noting, "mobilization means war", was only really true, according to Taylor, of Germany. Germany's mobilization of mechanized and troop forces on its vast Railroad system demanded, under the Schlieffen plan, an invasion of Belgium, a quick decisive victory of France and then an all out effort brought to the Russian front.
Taylor also points out that mechanization and mobilization in this era, really led to defensive strength, not an offensive one. The troops could be brought to the front lines but once in enemy territory, they moved as slow as ever. That coupled with the newly invented barbed wire and machine gun, and given that planes and tanks were insufficiently advanced to make a real difference, led to the inevitable trench warfare.
A film and / or book that you should see or read (can you say extra credit?) is "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. The book came out in 1928 and I believe the film is 1929 or 1930 (I own it). Read it / watch it and bring in a 1-2 page typed thoughtful review analysing the "limitations and values" of the source for a historian and it will net you three points towards your quizzes. The book/film is a fiction, but I would argue it still has substantial value.
For your comments you can throw down anything of note. Why do you think Russia wanted a general war? Why did Austria press their demand against Serbia? Was the war at all avoidable?

3 August 2015
Hidden amongst the Summer Budget's headline policies was the announcement of a four-year freeze on working-age benefits from April 2016. The freeze excludes disability benefits. As such it is both an augmentation of the Coalition Government's "historically unprecedented" three-year one-per-cent cap on working-age benefits and an elongation of the Conservatives' proposed two-year freeze. The cap and freeze is intended to create a more affordable welfare system and ensure that work pays during a time when benefit inflation is outstripping wage growth.
The policy sounds recondite, but it will have profound consequences for those receiving social security. Since 1975, most working-age benefits have been uprated in line with at least price inflation to ensure they maintained their value. However, compared to a CPI-linked uprating policy, the cap and freeze will cause working-age benefits to lose 16 per cent of their value between 2010 and 2020—as the below chart shows.
This will mean that in 2020 unemployment benefit will be worth £550 a year less than it was in 2010. Child Benefit will lose £170 and, as the chart shows, fall to its lowest level since 1999. With the OBR forecasting earnings to increase by 4.5 per cent a year, both these benefits will fall to their lowest levels relative to earnings since systematic uprating began in the late 1970s.
Over the same period, the 'triple lock' on pension uprating (the greater of 2.5 per cent, average earnings or CPI inflation) will result in the average State Pension award value increasing by £1200 a year. As the graph shows, this continues the State Pension's long rise in value.
Freezing the value of working-age benefits will both ensure benefits grow at slower rate than average earnings and save the Government money in the short term. However, benefit cuts for working-age claimants alongside increases for pensioners raise questions over the Government's pledge to spread the burden of austerity across society. Furthermore, as Reform has previously argued, such short termism simply erodes the standard of living for benefit claimants, instead of providing sustainable solutions in the long term. After years of real-term cuts, the Government should start to turn its attention to the latter.

History of the Universe eBook. 398 pages, 300 illustrations only $2.99
ARM (a common Teutonic word; the Indo-European root is ar, to join or fit; cf. the Lat. armus, shoulder, and the plural word arma, weapons, Gr. ἁρμός, joint, and the reduplicated ἀραρίσκειν, to join), the human upper limb from the shoulder to the wrist, and the fore limb of an animal. (See Anatomy: Superficial and Artistic, and Skeleton: Appendicular.) The word is also used of any projecting limb, as of a crane, or balance, of a branch of a tree, and so, in a transferred sense, of the branch of a river or a nerve. Through the Fr. armes, from the Lat. arma, and so in English usually in the plural arms, comes the use of the word for weapons of offence and defence, and in many expressions such as men-at-arms, assault-at-arms, and the like, and for the various branches, artillery, cavalry, infantry, of which an army is composed, the arms of the service. Arms or armorial bearings are the heraldic devices displayed by knights in battle on the defensive armour or embroidered on the surcoat worn over the armour and hence called coats of arms. These became hereditary and thus are borne by families, and similar insignia are used by nations, cities, episcopal sees and corporations generally. (See Heraldry.)

The present moment is the only moment available to us and it is the door to all other moments.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
The present moment is the only moment available to us and it is the door to all other moments.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
-Richard Bach
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.
― Bil Keane
Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.
-Og Mandino
Surrender to what is.
Let go of what was.
Have faith in what will be.
-Sonia Ricotti
I find the great thing in this world is, not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Taoists have a famous teaching about an empty boat that rams into your boat in the middle of a river. While you probably would not be angry at an empty boat, you might well become enraged if someone were at its helm.
The point of the story is that the parents who did not see you, the other kids who teased you as a child, the driver who aggressively tailgated you yesterday – are all in fact empty, rudderless boats. They were compulsively driven to act as they did by their own wounds, therefore they did not know what they were doing and had little control over it.
Just as an empty boat that rams into us is not targeting us, so too people who act unkindly are driven along by the unconscious force of their own wounding and pain.
Until we realize this, we will remain prisoners of our grievance, our past, and our victim identity, all of which keep us from opening to the more powerful currents of life and love that are always flowing through the present moment.
Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
Oprah Winfrey
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is and the future less resolved than it will be.
Marcel Pagnol

Was born the 20th of May 1982 and lives in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. She has started her own fashion label; Norgmark with her good friend Terese. She studied fashion design at Copenhagen Academy of Fashion Design. Creative people have inspired her since she was a baby. Her Grandfather painted and drawed and worked as an interior decorator, her mother was creative with sewing, drawing and painting. Her childhood-home had a room with a sewing machine and everything she needed to experiment. Her cousin makes children clothes and has started the brand "Katvig" and her other cousin once had a fashion brand called "Rosanna Julie". She herself has worked in the fashion business for a long time as a buyer, seller and a manager for several shops. Last but not least she designs jewelry in her sparetime.
What is the best moment of the day?
The morning because I'm never grumpy. It's important for me to have enough time in the morning, and I would rather get up too early than too late.
Also the small breaks in the middle of the day. They give me an opportunity to sum up the day and a gives me a break so I don't get stressed. I think it's important to take these breaks and find a balance to figure out how you work best instead of stressing through the day.
The evening is also a good moment when I'm together with my friends or family. It's important for me to remember to get these small breaks where I do something else than my work. My job is very important to me, but my friends and family means everything to me.
What's design to you?
Design has to tell and create a story. I like when my designs have depth and provokes peoples senses and makes them curious. We try to do that by the way we choose materials, construction of the clothes and the details. I like to get peoples attention this way. Norgmark is what I would call "Intelligent design" because there's a story behind and the story fits together with our inspiration and our mood board. If the story weren't there it would be the same as making basic-clothes that only have to function and be practical.
It's important to find the connection between which products you design and how your market is. It's also important that your designs can be sold. Even sometimes you might have to compromise with the designs, but that doesn't have to be a negative thing, it's more a thing about learning to see things from another angel. It's important so stick with your own design-style and still be able to make it sellable.
When you were a child, did you want to become a designer?
I've always known that I was meant to do something creative, and I always subconsciously knew it had to be something with clothes. My passion is to inspire people and tell a story.
When did you start?
Therese and I both went to Copenhagen Academy of Fashion Design and we did some projects together. At the time we had our exams we both knew we wanted to do business together. Our exam-project in 2006 was about Norgmark and it was therefore very brand/product and sales-focused. We've only just then figured out it should be named Norgmark. The name came up after hours of phone-calls when my boyfriend was tired of hearing about us discussing about what name we should use. Then he just said: "Why don't you just call it Norgmark?" and we though it was perfect because we wanted to play with the fact that we are from Denmark (Danmark) and Norway (Norge) to give it more depth and meaning.
What's the main objective for your work?
It has to draw your attention and at the same time be sellable. It's okay if it's provoking, but not in a sense where the customers can't see themselves wearing it. Not too avant-garde.
Do you see yourself as a Danish designer or a designer in a global context?>
I feel like a Scandinavian designer. Our vision is to inspire as many people as possible.
Describe your style, like a good friend of yours would ?describe it.
Mixed and sophisticated-feminine with a raw edge.
Where do you seek inspiration?
Through feelings and thoughts. I'm very fascinated by things that many people define as ugly, because I think there's beauty in everything. I once made a "showstop-project" where I was inspired by a scarecrow. I made five different set, where I used the Psychoanalytic way to analyze the scarecrow about how it is, what's behind the way it is and why it seems so scary on the outside, but isn't on the inside.
In our A/W 2009 collection we were inspired by the minimalistic and not a certain mood. We have a architectural approach to fashion where it's more clean and simple. There will still be details though, but details with a function.
What's your favourite magazine?
DANSK magazine because of their fashion reports which are a great inspiration.
Cover Magazine & Vogue, especially German Vogue. I also read the sister magazine to Wallpaper; Spruce.
What kind of music do you listen to at the moment?
It's very different. I like soft rock-pop and folk like – Charles Kelley, Bruce Honseby, Ray LaMontage, Eric Hutchinson & Nathan Angelo. Country like Bob Dylan and I have a big passion for house and electro music.
Do you have a muse?
No, I've never been inspired by an actor or a person.
Who's your hero?
My Grandmother. She meant very much to me and I'm fascinated by the way she always was filled with love and gave me a lot of warmth and strength.
Anyone you would like to design anything for?
I would love to create something as a couture showstop for Björk and also Jessica Biel, because of her personality.
How do you start on a new project?
It varies. I always have my sketchbook with me, so when something inspires me I write it down immediately. I'm also always working with future projects because that's the way the business of fashion is.
Where do you work on your designs and projects?
It varies a lot. I work really well in our studio, but I also work great at home, because it's a personal/safe environment. I also sometimes go down by the water or to a café to sketch by myself. I like to be out alone in places where I'm surrounded by lots of people.
Do you discuss your work with other designers?
Yes about practical things and their experience. We can all learn from each other.
How do other designers work affect yours?
I don't seek the other designer's trends, but I get inspiration from the trends that are in the industry. Norgmark is not based on following the trends in the market, so they do not control me in my work.
Which challenges have you met in your work?Many, but it was a huge challenge to get the production-setup to work. We have hired a production-manager so everything is sorted out.
It's also a challenge to go into the fashion-business with your designs — It can sometimes feel like your little babies — and have to deal with negative reactions that might come.
Describe an evolution in your work, from your first projects to the present day.
We have learned from our first mistakes with the production-setup, choice of materials and priority of PR. I have a new approach to the different aspects of the processes.
What project has given you the most satisfaction?
The Autumn/Winter 2009 collection because of our new production-setup. It has with that been possible to focus directly on the design process. That new setup makes it easier to get closer to the concept and also makes the collection more sellable.
What advice would you give to an aspiring designer?
Don't rush things. When we were shortlisted to the fashion award "Den Gyldne Pelsnål" in 2006 everybody said they thought we should hurry up and make a collection, but I didn't think that was the right thing to do for us at that moment of time. Get know-how about the business of fashion and make a business strategy are the key words. Therefore we got an entrepreneur course where we learned about how to start a business. Strategy and network and preparedness are the key words.
What's your next project?
Our Spring/Summer 2010 collection. I've already begun sketching and getting inspiration.
What are you afraid of regarding the future?
I would not use the word afraid, but I'm excited to see how the crises will affect the fashion business and Norgmark. But I think everything will work out fine.

Life really is not a rough draft. And sometimes, I'm waiting for the opportunity to live mine in its final copy. My best outfits are saved for some unknown-not-yet-in-existence special occasion. I decide to forgo a good idea if it can't be presented in an ideal way. And I won't participate in community if the friendships aren't what I expected.
It sounds like perfectionism, but really I'm just balking.
I am making an attempt now, however, to really just LIVE. To be real--for myself and for God. That's why I'm loving this shirt from Just Be.
I want to live organically. And not just in my organic freak way of buying only organic milk and hormone-free meat. I want to live the way God has made me. To take my opportunities when they come. And delight in the lot I am given.

Among the many issues confronting the state Department of Corrections is what to do with the ongoing issue of Pennsylvania's opioid addiction crisis and how affected inmates should be treated for their addiction-related issues.
According to Department of Correction Sec. John Wetzel, the department is taking a holistic approach to treating inmates that come into the state prison system with opioid-dependency issues by providing treatment so as to reduce addiction, but also reduce recidivism.
Department of Corrections Secretary John Wetzel was the featured speaker at the November Pennsylvania Press Club luncheon held Monday afternoon where he spoke on topics related to the need to incorporate more data in criminal justice policymaking, the Justice Reinvestment Initiative, and the opioid crisis.
Gov. Tom Wolf announced Thursday that his administration is moving ahead entering into an inter-departmental memorandum of understanding (MOU) that would merge the parole agent functions of the Department of Corrections and Board of Probation and Parole.
Things are quietly winding down as the state correctional institution in Pittsburgh gets ready to permanently close its doors on June 30th.
As of May 19th, there are zero inmates in the facility that once housed 1,921 convicted individuals, and only a few employees remain to finish out the closure process. Those remaining employees will begin their new assignments at surrounding facilities on May 21, according to the Department of Corrections (DOC).
The House Judiciary Committee held a public hearing Thursday to discuss another consolidation attempt from Gov. Tom Wolf's budget proposal: the consolidation of the Department of the Department of Corrections and the Board of Probation and Parole.
This consolidation, under Senate Bill 522 and Senate Bill 523, would merge the two entities together, a system that a majority of other states use.

History Review
The majority of white population of the
American South can trace there roots back to the Celtic regions of Europe.
To understand the South today, it is necessary to study the historic
politics, sense of home, religion, superstitions, feudalism, economics, and
sense of privacy their ancestors brought to this new world.
New England was settled mainly by lower England, which was at odds with the Scotch-Irish section of upper England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales -- who settled the Upland South of Appalachia and the Ozarks. The politics from their homeland, kept these groups naturally at odds as matters of economics and politics were debated by the United States.
Education was important to the Celtic traditions, and their churches -- Presbyterian and Baptist -- formed colleges throughout the South. Vann shows how the Scotch-Irish dialect of the Ulster Protestants has dominated the region's language with words like "sparkin'," "scoot," "haint," or "critter."
The culture of ancient Celts has been protected by the isolation of remote areas of the Ozarks or Appalachia. Those wishing to study the culture as it existed in Europe often visit the American South to study the culture as it has been preserved.
Rediscovering the South's Celtic Heritage is a very readable text that would be an excellent addition to high school American History.
Dr. Barry Vann, a native of East Tennessee, is a geographer of Scotch-Irish, French Huguenot, English, Welsh, and Cherokee descent with interests in communities, politics, environmental issues, and history. After a year on a teaching fellow at the University of Dundee in Scotland, Vann now serves as professor of geography and education at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee. He also chairs the Department of Education and directs the University's Center for Appalachian Community and Heritage Studies.

Near Zaleski in Vinton County, Ohio — The American Midwest (Great Lakes)
The Hanging Rock Blast Furnace
The Hanging Rock blast furnaces varied little in their design. They resembled flat-topped pyramids built of sandstone block. The narrow furnace top rose 35-40 feet from the broad base. Inside the sandstone blocks was a lining of bricks made of clay mined nearby. The necessary ingredients, including chunks of iron ore and limestone, along with charcoal for fuel were dropped into the open top of the furnace. Tall wooden buildings on stilts surrounded the furnace, providing easy access to the top of the furnace and a convenient dry place to store the charcoal.
After the charcoal was ignited, air was forced through openings at the base of the furnace into beds of sand where the hot liquid was molded into blocks called "pigs." Blast funaces produced an average of 3000 tons of iron a year. This "pig iron" was loaded onto railroad cars for shipment to foundries in Cincinnati and Cleveland, to the east coast, and even to Europe.

The vision for Children's Ministry at Highland is to help children take the first steps in their relationship with Christ.
Psalm 78:4 'We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, His power, and the wonders He has done.'
Current Calendar
At Highland we recognize the importance of quality childcare. Our nursery is designed to allow parents (and all adults) the opportunity to fully take in the worship services and events at Highland while knowing that their little ones are properly cared for and loved.
To keep children (birth – 3 years) safe while in the nursery, parents print their child's security name tag and parent badge at a kiosk. First time participants will need to register their child(ren) at the nursery counter (Wausau) or at the Connection Point (Weston and Marathon). Parents must show their parent badge when picking up their child(ren). To further ensure your child's safety, all of our nursery workers are required to complete an application and undergo background checks before serving in the nursery.
Young children may be dropped off before service at the nursery, kept with you, or you can take advantage of our cry room. Nursery care (birth - age 3) is provided during all of our worship services. During the school year, there is Sunday school (age 3 and up) at 9:20 a.m. Children's Church (age 4 - 2nd grade) is held during our Sunday morning worship services (except for the Traditions Service).
Children's Church
Children's Church (age 4 - 2nd grade) is provided during our Sunday worship services (except for the Traditions Service). Children leave the sanctuary about 20 minutes after the church service starts to have their own time of singing, crafts, Bible stories, and practical time. Each class lesson is independent of the others, so children can attend Children's Church any week they are in church.
It is intentional that we dismiss children from the sanctuary 20 minutes after the church service begins. We feel strongly that as a church, and as parents, we need to be training our children how to worship. At the same time, we recognize that young elementary aged children may not be ready for either a full church service or the sermon topics presented. So Children's Church is their time of learning God's word.
To keep children (age 4 - 2nd grade) safe while in the Children's Church, parents need to print their child's security name tag and parent badge at a kiosk. First time participants will need to register their child(ren) at the nursery counter (Wausau) or at the Connection Point (Weston and Marathon). Parents must show their parent badge when picking up their child(ren). To further ensure your child's safety, all of our Children's Church teachers are required to complete an application and undergo background checks prior to teaching.
Sunday School
Sunday school is available for ages 2 - 5th grade. It is intended to provide a solid biblical foundation to build on for life. Our staff of experienced and energetic teachers would love to share God's Word with your child at 9:20 a.m. each Sunday during the school year.
All of our Sunday school teachers complete an application and undergo background checks prior to teaching. We also use a rule of two adults per classroom to further ensure the safety of your children.
Children (age birth - 2nd grade ) need a security name badge printed (weekly) at a kiosk prior to going into class. First time participants will need to register their child(ren) at the nursery counter (Wausau) or at the Connection Point (Weston and Marathon). Parents must show their parent badge when picking up their child(ren).
Wednesday Night
Wednesday Night Program (One Way Club)
Children (age 4 - 5th grade) may participate in One Way Club. OWC features Bible stories with a creative twist, verse time, singing, games, and snacks. Children can earn tokens to use at our Trading Post. Guests are always welcome, so encourage your children to invite friends! Our themes and verses for the year can be found on the Resources and Printable Files page of this website.
One Way Club meets (early September to the end of April) on Wednesday nights from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Wausau Campus and 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. at the Weston Campus.
Centershot uses the life skill of archery to connect children with others through fun and fellowship, while growing in their relationship with the Lord and increasing their skill and knowledge of archery. Archery is the "most talked about" sport in the Bible. Many life lessons can be found in the Bible that relate directly to archery and we dig into them during our Bible study time each night. Our eight week "flights" are designed to build a solid foundation for their faith. Centershot is unique, as we encourage children (age 10 and up) to participate alongside their parents and grandparents. Entire families can enjoy Centershot together. We encourage your children to connect with us, grow in their relationship with the Lord, and tell their friends!
All archery equipment and materials are provided and there is no charge!

His plan, our hands
Creative Puppet Ministry
Highland's "His Plans, Our Hands" creative puppet ministry helps bring the message of God to all ages through black light puppets, music, and more. The group regularly practices at the Weston Campus and has performed at One Way Club nights, Thanksgiving Soup and Pie services, and more.
This is a TEAM ministry open to families, youth, and teens. Children younger than 5th grade need a parent/adult to participate with them to be in the group. For more information, contact either Anissa Bliese at 715-470-2345 or or Bram Jarvis at 715-370-0099 or .
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is held at all of our campus sites (different weeks / same program). VBS is for children age 4 - 5th grade. It is the perfect time to invite friends to learn about God. VBS is free.
Children's Special Events
Every other year, children have an opportunity to participate in a contemporary Christmas musical that is presented early in December. This children's musical is a highlight of the Christmas season for all who attend. Admission is free. A cookie reception follows the performance, so invite friends and family!
The Children's Ministry also puts on an event called "One Starry Night" that is typically held on the second Saturday in December. "One Starry Night" resembles a trip through ancient Bethlehem's streets. It is a time for entire families to enjoy period-themed actors, buildings, and children's games. Attenders also create Bible-time crafts and "experience" the wise men from the East in search of the "One born King of the Jews." Bring the whole family to this "you-are-there Bible adventure." It is a fun and interactive event with a clear gospel message, so invite your family, friends, and neighbors.

NEW YORK (AP) — A woman who was the centerpiece of a video about street harassment in New York City has filed a lawsuit against its director and the organization that put it out.
Shoshana Roberts filed her lawsuit in Manhattan on Monday. The lawsuit says her performance and likeness were used for "advertising or trade without her prior written consent" and she's looking for at least $500,000.
The video compiled comments and catcalls Roberts heard from men as she walked Manhattan streets over the course of 10 hours. It had millions of views online.
The lawsuit names director Rob Bliss and an anti-street harassment group called Hollaback! that released the video.
Bliss hasn't replied to an email seeking comment. Hollaback! says it hasn't been served with papers and won't comment.

Casita travel trailer, one of the most popular recreational vehicles (RV), is quite adorable to the travelers, especially traveling to countryside. RV is commonly known as caravan or motor-home. Truly speaking, casita travel trailer is considered as the favorite lightweight travel trailer among most of the Americans. It is manufactured by Casita Company in Texas, USA. Essentially three types of models are built depending on the length of the model. They are - 13 ft, 16 ft and 17 ft. Each size is then sub-divided under two categories, that is, standard and deluxe. By default, three primary furniture models come out, from which the customer is free to choose.
So you can get your hands on valuable information and in the course also amuse yourself. Isn't it wonderful to know you get your multi purposes solved in a reasonable rate that you would pay for a single magazine?
Most prevalently, Casita travel trailer is a perfect carrier for any camp or long drive. One can identify it as basically a little house on the wheels. It provides appropriate space for two adults. Casita vehicles can be decorated with stove or oven, refrigerator, dinning space, bed and bathroom with shower. So the home comfort is easily available in casita travel trailer.
Likewise other towables, the casita unit can be disengaged at the destination point. It frees up towing vehicles for short excursions and trips. By that time, casita vehicles can be used for relaxation purpose, shopping or sightseeing. Each and every casita travel trailer can be customized depending on the individual needs. However, floor plans come with wide range of options. The slide-out feature is a significant addition to most of the modern travel trailers. It helps in moving out the exterior wall and enlarges the space a minimum of three and half feet to accommodate dinning, living or kitchen areas.
This slide-out feature is essentially useful for enlargement of space area compared to usual outside wall. According to modern trend, there are a considerable variety of tow vehicles available in the market. Additionally, casita likewise most of the travel trailers can be towed using full-sized or mid-sized family automobiles, track-based vehicles, vans etc. Telescoping is an important feature that ensures enhanced fuel consumption
Getting level of the casita travel trailer is very important as it helps in proper management of almost all electric accessories. For example, the refrigerator becomes more efficient, waste water tank will drain more and door will close in appropriate fashion. The usage of lightweight outdoor carpeting for entranceway is found to be beneficial as it can be easily hosed off and dried fast.

The Baltimore Ravens face a variety of scenarios sitting at No. 6 pick in the 2016 NFL draft. They have an outside shot at finding an ideal marriage between talent and position need but could also put general manager Ozzie Newsome's best-player-available philosophy to the early test.
Baltimore has a big need along its offensive line and might find help in the first round in Notre Dame's Ronnie Stanley. A need also exists for a pass-rusher, which Ohio State's Joey Bosa could fill nicely if he slips past Dallas and Jacksonville at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.
If Bosa, Myles Jack and Jalen Ramsey all disappear in the first five picks, the Ravens could be forced to test the strength of their draft board. There's a good chance Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner ranks ahead of Stanley when the Ravens are on the clock, but he plays a much less desirable position.
Grading every AFC team's offseason moves
Here's a look at five candidates the Ravens could consider with the No. 6 pick, listed in our estimation of least likely to most likely:
5. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State: Running backs are far down on the Ravens' list of needs, but an offensive playmaker, however the team can get him, shouldn't be outright dismissed, either. Veteran Justin Forsett is recovering from a broken arm that ended his 2015 season prematurely, and then-rookie Buck Allen showed glimpses but didn't cement his status as Baltimore's next franchise runner. Elliott would have no trouble rising to the top of a crowded depth chart with power, speed, instincts and pass-catching skills that offensive coordinator Marc Trestman covets.
4. Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State: If Bosa can stick as an edge rusher in a 3-4 scheme, he would be the ideal target for Baltimore at No. 6. A two-time All-American who wreaked havoc in opponents' backfields, Bosa weighed in at the NFL combine at 6-5 and 269 pounds, nine pounds lighter than his last recorded weight at Ohio State. He lined up inside and outside on the Buckeyes' D-line, racking up 50.5 TFLs and 26 sacks in three seasons. Bosa would likely be the best available pass-rusher on the board at No. 6, and he has a chance to fall this far with a reputation for having a higher floor but a lower ceiling than others in the top-five mix.
3. Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida: This would be a steep price to pay for an undersized corner (5-10) who lacks elite straight-line speed. But Hargreaves also has the best pure cover skills in this draft and owns a 39-inch vertical leap that helps him overcome his deficiencies. He could also be a target for Baltimore to trade back and select later in the round, should that market develop. Even at No. 6, the Ravens could pull the trigger on Hargreaves and feel comfortable knowing they got a starter-worthy corner as a rookie. His length doesn't fit the Ravens' cornerback prototype, but his aggressive demeanor and football IQ sure do.
2. Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame: Stanley fills the Ravens' biggest need and should be at or near the top of the team's draft board while on the clock at No. 6. Stanley is a very good player but perhaps not an elite draft prospect who commands a pick in this range in the absence of a glaring need. Baltimore could see him differently, though, and feel good about landing Stanley if better overall talents such as Bosa, Jack and Ramsey all disappear in the top five picks. Stanley checks off many of the boxes of an NFL offensive tackle and could one day hold down start on the left side.
1. DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon: Depending how the draft plays out, Buckner could be the best player available and a talented defensive end who could represent a roster upgrade in Year 1. Buckner is a rare athlete at 6-7 and 291 pounds with monstrous hands who could grow into a prototypical end in a 3-4 scheme. He got better and better as his Oregon career went on, finishing with 10.5 sacks and 17 TFLs as a senior. Buckner would be a nice piece to an already-deep D-line and fall in line with general manager Ozzie Newsome's tendency to focus on the best available talent.

Where can I change money in Riga?
We hear this question all of the time and to be honest with you there are many options to change your currency.
Firstly, check the rates online. You will find many sites dedicated to giving you on the day exchange rates and this is a sure way to see if you are getting ripped off or given a fair rate.
As of January, 2014 the official currency in Latvia is EURO. The old currency LATS(LVL) is out – you can not use them in shops and markets. If for some reason you have some Lats left in your pocket, you can exchange them to Euros in the State Bank of Latvia(Latvijas Banka) or just keep them as a souvenir.
Banks in Riga
Contrary to what you may think banks are not always offering the best rates. Their rates are very competitive but they often charge for the service at a flat rate or a percentage of the amount you change, shop around and ask for hidden costs, they are however the safest place to change your money, you will receive a professional service as you would expect from any bank.
Currency exchange bureaus in Riga
There are many small currency exchange bureaus around Riga, some of which offer good rates others that will offer terrible ones. If you are happy that the rate is close to what you found online go for it but make sure you ask exactly what you will receive for the amount you wish to exchange. You can find these bureaus in many main streets but remember if the street is very touristic the rate is probably not going to be that great!
I would not advise using any independent currency exchange in Riga during the nighttime, especially if you are drunk! Two reasons for this are simple, firstly, you may get given an incorrect rate if you are drunk and secondly, it is not advisable that in the evenings in any city you show yourself to be dealing with money, the same goes for ATM's, you never know who is watching. Do your currency business during daylight hours and have peace of mind.
ATM's in Riga
These days you will find that Riga is full of ATM machines and by far one of the most convenient ways to get some money is to use your card. You can pay by card in most shops but beware, Riga has a history of card fraud so better withdraw the cash from the machine and then spend your cash with peace of mind.
Changing money in Riga is possible everywhere, just to make sure that you are getting a fair deal. Do not change money on the streets! There are some guys who make some money scams so it is worth avoid these at all costs. We also advise that you do not carry all of your cash around with you. Hide some of it throughout your luggage, accommodation and safe deposit box.

Some villages boarding the wonderful coast and others are hanging on the slopes of verdant mountains. The inhabitants have kept their traditional way of life and customs, which is giving to the island a unique atmosphere and a lot of charm.
Traditions are still maintained and celebrated on this beautiful island, reminiscing the sponge-fishing boat departures, the moments of separation and then the celebration of their successful return. Nowadays tourism has become a second resource of economic growth for all residents, who every summer see their island full of visitors mainly those who appreciate the island's tranquility and lovely beaches
The beaches on Kalymnos Greece are very beautiful. Some are extending over kilometres while other are nestled in small, secluded coves. With golden sand or smooth pebbles, all the beaches of the island have mirror-like waters varying on a rich palette of blue.
Following the beach road you can visit the Church Of Christ (or Saviour). Its temple is the work of a well know sculptor of Tinos Island, Giannouli Chalepa and its mural paintings were carried out by local painters. The beautiful buildings and green background complete the island's image. At the dock the small touristic shops filled with sponges highlight Kalymnos character. The processing sponge workshops are worth visiting. If you have time to spare then the Archaeological – Folklore Museum is also worth visiting
